Trump Hints at Third Term Despite Constitutional Ban
Although the U.S. Constitution bars Donald Trump from seeking a third term, he continues to entertain the idea.
Speaking at a Black History Month event on Thursday, Trump playfully posed the question to his audience: “Should I run again? You tell me.” The crowd responded with cheers and chants of “four more years,” prompting Trump to joke, “There’s your controversy right there,” adding that the moment would make headlines.
Later that day, in a speech to Republican governors, Trump acknowledged that he’s been told he cannot run again. He hinted at uncertainty but noted he would use funds raised during the transition to support allies, stating, “I can’t spend it on me,” suggesting a campaign is off the table.
The remarks come in the same week Trump referred to himself as “the king” in a social media post about reversing federal approval for New York City’s congestion pricing toll plan.

“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” Donald Trump proclaimed in a social media post, adding, “LONG LIVE THE KING!”
Despite the 22nd Amendment barring anyone from serving more than two terms as president, Trump and his supporters continue to discuss the possibility of him running againPush for Trump’s Third Term Gains Momentum at CPAC
Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., has introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution, allowing Donald Trump to seek a third term. Trump supporters promoted the effort, known as the “Third Term Project,” at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., this week.
Former White House adviser Steve Bannon championed the idea during his CPAC speech, declaring, “The future of MAGA is Donald Trump! We want Trump in '28. That’s what they can’t stand. A man like Trump comes along only once or twice in the country’s history.”
Bannon, a key figure behind the “Stop the Steal” movement that sought to overturn the 2020 election, continues to push for Trump’s long-term political dominance.
Meanwhile, Trump has been working to expand executive authority in his second term, drawing criticism from opponents who accuse him of an unconstitutional power grab. In a Saturday social media post, he quoted Napoleon Bonaparte, stating, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”.
